Delaware County Ohio

Yesterday, we honored the legacy of former Commissioner Merlin “Boots” Sheets, who passed away in February. His lifetime of dedicated service and leadership can still be seen in several projects he championed from 1980 to 1996, including the establishment of a state-of-the-art 911 center, the formation of a four-county solid waste district, and the planning and construction of key sewer infrastructure throughout Delaware County.

The Commissioners presented a proclamation to Shad, his son, and Sherryl, his daughter, during session on Monday. They were joined by Dedra Hall, who served as clerk to the board during Sheets’s tenure, and Domestic Relations Court Judge Randall Fuller.
